[QUOTE="and-81, post: 252912, member: 11844"] No, MS SQL Express is fine for use with TV Server in Multi-Seat setup. As for the 4GB database limit and single CPU only. Well, no, I don't see that as reason enough to use MySQL. No offence. I don't think anyone using MediaPortal has a 4GB database and limiting the process to a single CPU will be of no consequence either... unless your PC is running at ~99% CPU utilisation, in which case you have bigger problems than deciding what DBMS to use. I've never had any problems with SQL Express, I've found it stable and reliable. Admittedly I've never bothered trying MySQL, but why would I if what I'm using works? I actually don't think there are any compelling reasons to choose either of them over the other. They both seem to work just fine. Take a look at the forum support threads and you rarely see anything relating to the database. Cheers, PS. Just to address the Anti-Microsoft theory for using MySQL... MediaPortal itself is built on Microsoft technologies! .net, C#, DirectX, MediaPlayer, Visual Studio, Windows! If you want to stay away from Microsoft products you've made a bad start :) [/QUOTE]
